Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

A richly illustrated retrospective of the life and art of Woodland Cree painter, Frederick R McDonald. In three parts: an introduction by human ecologist, Karim-Aly S Kassam; an accessible autobiographical recounting of McDonald's life and art; a full-colour section of 61 colour reproductions. The book offers a candid and refreshing work that is honest, raw, and at times, humourous. With one foot in the world of his ancestral peoples, and the other in the realm of contemporary Canadian society, McDonald paints from a unique perspective and uses his art to convey a First Nations message to viewers and readers. This is the first in University of Calgary Press's 'Art in Profile' series, which aims to raise the profile of regional artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A retrospective of the life and art of McDonald, Aug 6 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Ancestral Portraits is a retrospective of the life and art of McDonald, a Native artist, profiles one of Canada's premier First Nation artist, blending selected color images with a review of McDonald's peoples and influences. The many firstperson insights make for a fine examination of Canadian and Native arts.
